Ahhh....The Seventies

So who here remembers the seventies? The 1970's that is, I'm not talking about age here. I would've remembered the seventies better if I was older, but since I was born in 1972, I was a little too young to remember much of it. I think it was about having lots of free unprotected sex, and avoiding commitments in relationships at all costs, and Watergate and Nixon and the end of the Vietnam War and the end of the draft. The Bee Gees and disco and Welcome Back Kotter, and the movie Car Wash, definitely.

Afro's and bell bottoms and pet rocks and Have Nice Day! Jimmy Carter and his peanuts. He sent one to us in the mail back in 1975 I believe, and I ate it and it was dry. Saturday Night Fever and John Travolta and Vinnie Barbarino and Happy Days, and for me kindergarten in 1978. I don't remember it all but I do remember the music, and that's what's important to me is the music.

So without further ado, here is the best of the Seventies thus far, according to me. I'll be adding more, most definitely.
